Manual or Automatic?

  1. right on!!! i would have included the part about road head but i am a girl so its not as easy. But yeah, manual all the way, guys who don't know how to drive a manual car automatically lose points on my list. I got a 07' g35 coupe its my baby, bought it with money i saved up from dealing :) and a 1957 mustang also manual.
     
  2. Word of warning, talk of that sort is looked down upon around here.

    Just making sure ya don't get hit by the ol banhammer.
     
  3. i like manuals more but i drive an auto
     
  4. manual till i die
     

  5. Lol I get it hah. I was like wtf, then...oh.
     
  6. Oh yea, I only buy manuals.
    Love em.
     
  7. Manual is the only way. Autos are pretty much big go-carts for retards.

    People say manual is hard, pfffft moving a tiny stick around and pushing ONE extra pedal, haha heaven forbid ANYONE having to do all that.

    Manuals are better -

    Control

    Power

    Cost

    Life out of car

    and

    Fun.
     
  8. Manual FTW. Whenever I drive an Automatic, my left leg keeps kicking the dead pedal trying to push in an imaginary clutch haha

    and imo, Semi-Automatic is an Automatic transmission, unless you're talking about SMG which technically is a manual transmission...but if it doesnt have a clutch its auto in my eyes


    lol this one "friend" of mine was trying to show off his PT cruiser, and I got in, and it was auto but he was like "But check this out!! Im shiftin like a manual man, im awesome"

    oh and BMW ftw:smoking:
     
  9. i say auto because thats all i got. i never tried to drive a stick, i need to practice.
     
  10. 5 speed or 6 speed manual.
     
  11. always manual. automatic feels like your playing an arcade racing game like cruisin' usa or something. anyone feel that way after driving a manual for a long time then driving an automatic?
     
  12. i like both.

    i love the feeling of actually driving my talon, not riding in it.

    but i also like gliding in a 96 impala SS on 22's. 4l60e
     
  13. I've always been a manual guy, but I definitely appreciate automatics. Back when I was still living in NoVA I was working for NIH up in Bethesda, MD...about a 30 minute drive when traffic was clear on 495, sometimes an hour or more when it wasn't. At that time I was driving a manual 2000 VW Jetta TD and I would curse that fucking car every single day when I had to sit in traffic. On the clutch, off the clutch, on the clutch again...just got annoying.

    So I guess if I don't have to deal with traffic, give me a manual. If traffic is going to be an every day thing, then I'll take an auto, hands down.
     
  14. i love auto, im lazy lol. but my first car was a manual and it was ok, the power thing is right, but its just easier with a auto i think, ive taugt this one girl i knew how to drive and it was ina manuel and she caught on quick
     
  15. ^You know this.

    Another reason: automatics are more expensive, cost a fortune to replace and blow up more often.

    Nothing like having to shell out £4000 for a new auto-box! Manual always.
     
  16. Hey anyone from nj know anyone with some manual car for sale? within southern 3/4 of nj under 2 gs.


    just thought id throw that out there.


    Im sick of seing so many good cars, just to read the ad a little bit further to see the word automatic

    i test rode this plymouth laser but it has some serious room and visual/sight issues
